British Antiques Roadshow

British Museum 1 (#3308)

Fiona Bruce and the team set up camp for another busy day as thousands of visitors bring their own treasures to the forecourt of the British Museum in London. It's a timely visit as Fiona reflects on the recent A History of the World project. Meanwhile the experts are kept busy with an intriguing array of objects including a pair of wooden pillars from HMS Victory thought to have witnessed the Battle of Trafalgar, a dandy's outfit from the early 18th century, and we meet an 8 year old boy whose personal collection includes an MBE.
